MONEY WRAPPING DEVICE Filed Sept. 26, 1947 Patented Apr. 17, 1951 "UNITED STATES PATENT OFF Ernest Fortier, Three Rivers, Quebec, Canada Application September 26, 1947, Serial No. 776,242

1 Claim. (01. 93-2) The invention relates to improvements in a money wrapping device, as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form a part of the same.

The invention consists essentially of the novel features of construction as pointed out broadly and specifically in the claims for novelty following a description containing an explanation in detail of an acceptable form of the invention."

The objects of the invention are to devise a money wrapping device which will permit the blind to stack and wrap a predetermined number of coins; to furnish a device in which a coin wrapper may be inserted and held in a suitable position to facilitate wrapping money therein; to

eliminate the counting of coins by providing a the upper surface of the guide plate 12 thus providing a means of securing the channel member I8 substantially on the underside thereof.

The clamping strip or band 20 is of an arcuate shape and forms an integral part of the guide plate l2. This clamping strip in co-operation with the arcuately shaped back I6 is adapted to hold the handle 2i firmly in position on the guide plate l2. 7

The shank or stationary end holder 22 which is integral with the handle 2| and issmallerthan ately shaped'back l6.

gauge which may be set to determine an exact device which will be durable and efiicient for its purpose.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device showing a coin wrapper in position thereon.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the device.

Figure 3 is a sectional view as taken on the line 3-3 in Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a sectional view as taken on the line 4-4 in Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a rear or side View of Figure 2.

Figure 6 is a side View of the sliding holder for the coin rack.

Figure 7 is an end view of Figure 6.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the various figures.

Referring to the drawings, the money wrapping device consists of the coin rack as indicated by the numeral II) which has the sliding holder ll suitably mounted therein. V

The coin rack [0 consists of the guide plate l2 which is formed from a single sheet of metal or other suitable material. This guide plate has the lugs l3 and i4 formed on the upper outer edges of same towards the front thereof. The rear por-' tion of the guide plate [2 is formed upward in an arcuate manner and the central portion [5 is suitably cut-away thus forming a pair of areaately shaped walls or backs l6 and I l.

The channel member or slide support I8 is provided with the lugs 19 which are adapted'to engage in corresponding slots in the guide plate l2. These lugs l9 are flattened down flush with The sliding holder ll consists of the sliding holder support or guide strip 24 which is flanged upward at one end thereof and adapted to have the movable end holder 25 fixedly secured thereto. This movable end holder 25 is diametrical in shape and the size of same coincides with that of the stationary end holder 22 of the handle 2|.

The sliding holder support 24 is rounded on the straight end thereof and adapted to slide into the channel member [8 until the fiange on the thus partially removing same from within the channel member.

In the use of the invention a money wrapper 2B is slid under the lugs I3 and I4 on the guide plate [2 and drawn backward. The rear end of the wrapper follows the curvature of the arcuately shaped backs I6 and I1 and is drawn upward and partially around the stationary end holder and movable end holders 22 and 25. The inner faces of these stationary and movable end holders are a predetermined distance apart so as to permit the correct number of coins to be stacked or placed in an orderly arrangement therebetween. After stacking the coins the money wrapper 26 is drawn upward and around the stationary and I movable end holders 22 and 25 and the stackof coins. From this point the wrapper 26 is rolled I 3 the wrapper and coins are then removed from the coin rack so that the opposite end of the wrapper may be folded in on the same.

What I claim is:

In a money wrapping device, a guide plate, lugs on said guide plate, arcuately shaped walls extending upward from the rear portion of said guide plate and being integral therewith, a channel member fixedly secured on the under side of said guide plate, a sliding holder supported in said channel member, a movable end holder secured on said sliding holder and extending over one edge of said guide plate, a handle secured on said guide plate, a shank extending inward from said handle, said shank and said movable end holder being suitably spaced apart and in alignment with respect to one another, said guide plate holding a money wrapper suitably held in position thereon by said lugs and adapted to be inserted between said arcuately shaped walls and said movable end holder and said shank, a portion of the money wrapper following the contour of said arcuately shaped walls thus facilitating the jux- 4 taposition and rolling of coins therein, and said movable end holder being removed from said guide plate thus releasing the money wrapper and the coins therein and permitting the money wrapper to be folded in on each end thereof.
